Last week was Homecoming Week at New Holstein High School, and it got rolling with the annual Powder Puff football game on Tuesday evening. Halftime of that game always features the junior and senior boys doing their respective dance routines. While the homecoming parade on Friday was cancelled, a pep assembly was held in the school gym and included a tug-of-war competition won by the seniors. That class won that competition all four years it has been in high school. Teachers Ted Bonde and Seth Nielsen performed a ribbon dance as well, much to the delight of students. High school choir members sang with the Rock Bottom band on a Rolling Stones number. A pumped-up Husky football team went on to defeat a solid Waupun squad in Friday night's football game.

The first class of 12 individuals underwent intensive dive rescue team training this past weekend using the classroom and indoor pool at Chilton Middle School. A second class of 12 individuals will experience the same training evenings this week. Training is being provided by Green Bay Scuba which is owned by Al Pahnke. Three instructors worked with groups of four individuals. Trainees are volunteers from area fire departments who ultimately will be equipped to perform below ice and water surface rescue operations on Lake Winnebago and other nearby bodies of water. The funding for this has been obtained through generous contributions from area individuals, businesses and service organizations.The organization of a dive team was prompted by tragic incidents occurring in the eastern and northern portions of Lake Winnebago where no area dive team rescue operation existed.
